you can tell us what the extent that your outreach took? >> we've been working very closely with chris and his group. they're very connected with the community down there, very tapped into the interests of the various parties from residents to merchants to tourists. and they've been an active -- we've been actively partnering with them because they've really got their tentacles into the community and on the pulse of what folks want down there. and frankly are better equipped than we are to connect with that community and so they've been working with us very closely to make sure that folks know about the project and are in favor with the project and we've been very aware and participating in all of those conversations. but it's been a partnership, very much a partnership. commissioner lee: in reading that, did you -- your staff did not do outreach itself? you relied on -- you worked with chris to -- >> that's correct. commissioner lee: thank you. vice president harrison: there were two things that i heard during public comment. one was that

and check out what this iraqi first lieutenant admitted to us. with the american combat troops leaving can the iraqi army keep the peace here? "to be honest," he says, "we need a couple more years." t minus three days until the end of combat and i'm out on the streets of baghdad. to be fair, it's glaringly obvious that iraqi troops who have been in charge here for months are doing a pretty good job keeping the peace. now families are out having ice cream and fancy new restaurants are opening up. although they will pat you down for weapons before you can get a table. yet so many of the iraqis we meet are deeply, darkly pessimistic. including this off-duty cop. even though you are a police officer, you don't think the iraqi forces can keep this country safe without the americans here anymore? >> yes, i don't think so. we don't have enough weapons, we are not ready for this mission. >> reporter: we're frequently asked by complete strangers if we can help them leave this country and come to america. why do you want to leave here? >> it's no good. >>
